When the hell are you guys ever going to learn...the true political animal is neither "left" nor "right". They are populist. They make all of their decisions based on what they believe will give them the best opportunity to stay where they are. It was absolutely pathetic how so many otherwise sane Americans ended up in some kind of euphoric swoon of "hope and change". Hell, if pretty much anyone other than McCain had received the Republican nod it would have been President Hillary rather than Obama.

I was one of the people who voted for Obama that wasn't enamored by him. Hillary was more qualified but less charismatic.

McCain would be better as president than Bush, but after he picked Palin as his running mate, that sealed the deal for me. Dan Quayle was bad, but Palin makes him look like a genius.
